    Default New Texas Mile record set by Mark Heidaker.

    Moderators Note - I took the liberty of renaming this thread to appropriately reflect Mark's momentous accomplishment and I am moving it to the General Discussion section of the Forum. 257.7 MPH in the standing mile. Yeah baby!

    First it's pretty tires. Next it's pretty guns. Then the next thing you know, you're shaving your beard and wearing capri pants.

    We should be good to go! We have some minor stuff to finish but it looks like we are going to make it. Kevin at Hennessey has been busting his ass!

    To hear this thing run in person is like standing next to a lion when it's roaring. They both sound like they are going to eat you....

    That car sounds sick. At a stoplight, people won't know if you're just idling or if you're shooting a Gatling-gun at them. Nice work sir!

    I am up that proverbial creek... without a supercharger to get me home

    ...but I know Dustin is going to come thru for me
